Third Party Reproduction
What is Third Party Reproduction?
ONE Fertility has helped many families grow using third party reproduction. Third Party Reproduction involves using donor sperm, donor oocytes (eggs), donor embryos, or a gestational carrier (surrogate).
Some reasons to consider Third Party Reproduction
- Single people
- Same sex couples
- People who don’t have viable sperm/egg/embryos
- People who should not get pregnant, for medical reasons
- People who don’t have a uterus or have issues with their uterus
- Other
Donor Sperm Options:
Donor sperm can be provided by either a sperm bank or from a known donor. To learn about the known sperm donor process please email infoivf@onefertility.com. Treatment options for patients using donor sperm can be either be used for DONOR intrauterine insemination (DI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Gestational Carrier (Surrogate)
A gestational carrier (surrogate) is a person who will carry a baby on behalf of another person or couple. The gestational carrier can either be a known family member or friend or a reputable agency can help you find a potential carrier. We have worked with Surrogacy in Canada Online, JA Surrogacy, HIVE and Canadian Surrogacy Options in the past and these agencies have been approved by our clinic. Please reach out to infoivf@onefertility.com to learn more.
